Intended Use

The truFreeze is intended for cryogenic destruction of tissue requiring either active or passive venting during surgical procedures. The truFreeze is indicated for use as a cryosurgical tool in the fields of dermatology, gynecology, and general surgery, to ablate benign and malignant lesions.

Device Story

The truFreeze System is a cryosurgical tool for ablating benign and malignant tissue. It consists of a mobile console with a touch panel computer, cryogen/suction/electronics modules, and a disposable spray kit containing flexible, open-tipped catheters and cryogen decompression tubes (CDT). The system applies medical-grade liquid nitrogen to the treatment area. The console manages cryogen level, pressure, cooling, defrost, and suction. Operators (physicians) control the system via a touch panel or dual foot pedal; a wireless remote provides auxiliary timer control. The CDT and on-board suction system facilitate venting of cryogen gas. By achieving temperatures of -196°C, the device creates ice balls to destroy targeted tissue. The system is used in clinical settings; output allows physicians to perform targeted tissue ablation, providing a minimally invasive surgical option for lesion destruction.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing comparing the truFreeze System to the IceSense3 predicate. Bench testing demonstrated equivalent performance in reaching lethal temperatures (-196°C vs -170°C) and producing comparable ice ball depths and temperature distributions (0°C, -20°C, -40°C isotherms) within equivalent freeze/thaw/freeze cycles.

Technological Characteristics

Cryosurgical unit using liquid nitrogen. System includes a mobile console with touch panel computer, cryogen/suction/electronics modules, and sterile single-use catheters (7 Fr) and decompression tubes. Operates via low-pressure spray. Features include cryogen level sensing, pressure relief valves, and isolated low-voltage power. Software manages timing, cooling, and suction. Connectivity includes wireless remote control. Sterilization for disposable components is implied.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring cryogenic destruction of tissue in dermatology, gynecology, and general surgery to ablate benign and malignant lesions. Requires active or passive venting during procedures.

The truFreeze System consists of (1) a console and (2) a disposable spray kit. #### Console: The console is the central interface of the system and is comprised of a touch panel computer (TPC) and cryogen, suction and electronics modules packaged in a mobile cart. Users interact with the console through a dual foot pedal and a touch panel. An off-the- shelf controller and associated software manage the cryogen level sensing, filling, pressure, cooling, defrost, suction, timing and data management functions. A wireless remote control provides alternative timer control from a distance in the treatment room. A fill kit, stored on the rear of the console, allows for liquid nitrogen transfer from the source tank to the console. Safety features include indicators, tank pressure relief valves, an isolated low voltage power system, and an emergency button to be used in the event of user or technical malfunction. {1}------------------------------------------------ # Disposable spray kit: The truFreeze disposable spray kit consists of 5 individually packaged sterile single-use catheters ( 7 Fr Straight Tip Catheter and one Catheter Introducer.) and 5 individually packaged cryogen decompression tubes (CDTs) (each containing one Dual Lumen 20 Fr CryoDecompression Tube (CDT), Connector, and Suction Tubing.). The catheter is flexible and capable of retroflex in a scope. The CDT and accessory tubes are included for use with the on-board suction system. # Intended Use/Indications for Use The truFreeze System is similar in its Intended Use as the predicate device (K102360 IceSense3). Both devices describe the ablation of benign and malignant tissue in general terms. The requirement to use active or passive venting is in the cleared truFreeze Instructions for Use document (K113021) and adding it to the intended use/indications for use statement highlights the importance of venting and will enhance safe use of the device. Therefore, the revised intended use/indications for use statement raises no new issues of safety or effectiveness. The truFreeze is intended for cryogenic destruction of tissue requiring either active or passive venting during surgical procedures. The truFreeze is indicated for use as a cryosurgical tool in the fields of dermatology, gynecology, and general surgery, to ablate benign and malignant lesions. # Technical and Operational Characteristics The truFreeze System is similar in design, operational and technological characteristics as the predicate device and supports that no new safety concerns are being raised by change in intended use/indications for use statement and thus raises no new issues of safety or effectiveness. # Summary of Testing The truFreeze System was previously subjected to a comprehensive test program that included electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility testing, software testing, animal testing, biocompatibility and sterilization testing. Since the change in:the, truFreeze, system limited to the Indications for Use, limited bench testing swas conducted to support {2}------------------------------------------------ demonstration of substantial equivalence in performance from the truFreeze to its predicate device. A summary table of the bench testing is provided below: | | Bench Testing Comparison Table | | | |---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Bench Test | Proposed truFreeze System | Predicate IceSense3 | Comments | | Characteristic | (K133258) | (K102360) | | | Ability to reach<br>equivalent dose (using<br>same freeze/thaw/freeze<br>cycle) | 2min/2min/2min =1.8-2.4cm<br>3min/2min/3min=2.4-3.0cm<br>4min/4min/4min=3.0-3.6cm | 2min/2min/2min =2.1-2.5cm<br>3min/2min/3min=2.6-3.0cm<br>4min/4min/4min=3.1-4.0 cm | Both capable of producing<br>equivalent depth of ice | | Output Temperature at<br>tip | -196 degree C | -170 degree C | Both achieve temperatures<br>low enough to destroy<br>malignant tissue | | Equivalent temperature<br>distribution using the<br>radial distance from the<br>0° C isotherm (border<br>of ice ball) to the -20°C,<br>-40°C and -50°C<br>isotherms | @ freeze depth of 21.87mm<br>at 0°C<br>-20°C isotherm at 15.5mm<br>depth<br>-40°C isotherm at 11.8mm<br>depth | @ freeze depth of 22mm at<br>0°C<br>-20°C isotherm at 16.9mm<br>depth<br>-40°C isotherm at 13.4mm<br>depth | Both can produce lethal<br>ice at comparable depths | ## Rationale For Substantial Equivalence The Intended Use/Indications for Use statement and technological characteristics of the truFreeze System and the predicate device (K102360 IceSense3) were compared. The Intended Use/Indications for Use statement of the two devices had equivalent general claims and do not raise new questions of safety and performance. Bench testing demonstrated that both devices can achieve equivalently cold temperatures in equivalent time periods to produce equivalent amounts of ice. These temperatures are cold enough to destroy unwanted benign or malignant tissue. This proposed change to the Indications for Use is well supported by a review of the peer reviewed clinical literature and are similar to those of the predicate device with the same general intended use of cryogenic destruction of benign or malignant tissue during surgical procedures. The truFreeze device requires either active or passive venting for safe use. This is described within the previously cleared Instructions for Use document for the truFreeze device. The addition of this statement to the Intended Use/Indications for Use statement enhances the safe use of the device. ### Conclusion Based on the label and technology comparison as well as the performance testing, the truFreeze device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device listed above. {3}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/3/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
